What to breed to a normal?
So I just found out that the first snake I ever got is a female. Normal of course :P.
I want to get into breeding, and as some of you guys might know, I purchased a bunch of females that I plan on breeding, but they're all babies right now. I like buying babies instead of adults :D. It's cheaper and I get to see a glimpse of what my offspring could look like :P.
My question is, what would you breed to this normal? My current baby females are Calico, Enchi, Killerbee, and Pastel het clown. I really dig enchis and I think there's still so much to be done with both enchis AND calicos... Whatever the male will be, I'm hoping to get either a double co-dom male, or a male of either enchi or calico to hopefully produce more females (since you can never have too many ;))
What do you guys think? What would you do? Do you have a better idea?
Thanks =].
EDIT: I forgot to mention o_O.. She's only 1300 grams, but she's an 08. I know some of you guys have older females that are around the same weight, but her small size is my fault. She wouldn't eat for so long when I first got her and I had no idea why... Then I found this forum and discovered that her 40 gallon fishtank wasn't the best idea :oops:... Then I found out she had retained eye caps (which the forum helped me discover)... Then I was feeding her prey items that just weren't big enough.. Hoppers for a long time... Then finally adult mice for a longer time... So I made a ton of mistakes before finally getting her on track eating small/medium rats once every 7 days, and she's my favorite feeder :D:D!!

Good point. And really great suggestions. They're actually on my list of "maybes" :D
I wouldn't say "sky's the limit". I think stingers and enchi pastels are hovering at the sweet spot. They're AWESOME looking and they have enchi <3..
I was also thinking maybe clown male... For my normal to get some het clowns.. I have a buddy who loves clowns and I wouldn't mind hooking him up :D. And maybe also to breed him to the pinstripe when she's ready to go to get some awesome pinstripe het clowns! Maybe if I'm smiled upon by the Odds Gods (:bow:), I can keep a male pin het clown and hold him back for my pastel het clown for the future :D. Having a visual clown male in the collection would just be fantastic! Just thinking out loud... stirring my creative juices... :oops::D

According to my preferences, I'd go along the lines of granite yellowbelly, granite fire, gargoyle/onyx, or a hypo combo.
